Thank you to NetGally for the digital ARC of this in exchange for my honest review.
This book was...odd. It was well written, clearly researched, but it just...it didn't satisfy? It tried to be mysterious but...wasn't? I finished the book and then kept searching for additional parts. That was it? THAT was how it ended? It all felt so anticlimactic. It was like Paul tried to play on plot twists that other authors have done successfully, but watered them down. I liked the description of the book, quite a lot-but to me, it overpaints what actually happens in the book. Evelyn isn't an archaeologist. She's a well-bred upper class girl who's father finances Howard Carter's expeditions. She flouts traditional society standards, sort of. But she still isn't an archaeologist, she does work out there for a day or two. There were all sorts of tantalizing directions this story could've traveled, but Paul just...didn't. I didn't hate this book, but it certain left me feeling let down and perplexed at how it ended.

Interesting novel about the openings of Egyptian Tombs in the 1920's and what was catalogued to be placed in museums and what was stolen for greed. Among the characters is a young female archaeologist who in one thoughtless moment takes a artifact from the Tomb for herself. What follows involves curses, unexplained tragedies and death. Will recommend to my friends.
